Change has been afoot in Wisconsin and Roger Bindl was there to capture footage of the signing of a telecom bill that promises a different way of doing business and may portend changes nationally.  Among other things, this legislation eliminates price regulation, alternative regulation, rate case activities and requires interconnected VoIP providers to pay into the WI USF.
